Seeing Zombies In Christina’s World

To make this painting
a graphic novel someone
would have to invent

a graphic novel
kind of back-story for it:
Christina’s crawling

back to her farm house
after zombies attack her.
She killed the zombies

but they bit her legs.
Now she can’t walk and she knows
she will slowly change

into a zombie.
Will she commit suicide?
Will she ask someone—

mother or father,
her boy friend or her best friend—
to kill her quickly?

To save Christina
from becoming a zombie,
what will people do?

*

If somebody makes
a graphic novel from this
and Christina’s World

stays alive that way—
new media for new eyes—
will Christina be

a real life zombie,
alive but not Christina?
Is that monster art?
